WORTH IT$16,000
PO day 6. first post op apt with PS. got my drain out. man, i feel like a completely new person just in 2 days since sunday. i drove and went shopping by myself. i think i am now over the OMG why did i do this phase. so happy that phase only lasted 2 days. but i swear its like clockwork- how most people go through the 5 stages of grieving- seems like most people have the same stages post op at some point. my scar looks so much better in just 2 days too. hoping to upload a new photo later tonight. I can start using Mederma, and going out for walks, also i can pick my baby up a limited amount. so im feeling pretty happy. I'm still working on standing up straight and im exahusted after being up for 4 hours straight. everyday is better! My PS said i am healing excellently, which i am thankful for.

Glad to hear you are getting along so well! Can't wait to see more pics!
Congrats you look so good already!!
You look great! What a transformation. You should be very pleased. Happy continued healing.
you look great! Even with all the bruising! I'm going to be pretty bruised up myself! Rest, rest and more rest! And get those compression garments back on!
You look fantastic, such a pretty hourglass shape!

Today is PO day 4. yesterday i felt fairly good....
today is PO day 4. yesterday i felt fairly good. today i felt even better. i have been able to eat, and get in and out of bed. had my baby lay gently on my lap. But then i decided to take a shower- the shower went well- but i took off my binder for the first time. and i saw my incision for the first time. I think i hit the OMG why did i do this phase. i feel like frankenstein. is my body every going to look right. ugh. would i have rather had my squishy smooth fat than this hideous scar? The only hope i am clinging too is all the comments from people that felt the same way then were happy when they healed. either way, i can't undo it. so it will have to be ok. i just need to get by this phase.

Looking good! What a transformation. I don't like my incision either..mine is as long as yours. It will look better with time..that's what we have to keep thinking. You traded ur belly for no belly so the scar will be tolerable & a badge of bravery! ;)
I know what you mean Mandelion. These ups and downs really suck. I haven't seen my scar yet, but just yesterday I was obessessing over the location of my scar. I wish it would have been a bit lower. My husband had to console me. I guess this is all normal stuff... it stinks we have to go through it. One thing that is on your side is that you are very fair skinned. They say scars on fair skinned people tend to blend in a bit more. Give it time. Happy Healing!
Your scar is big like everyone else's but its LOW!!!! Mine goes higher up one side, than I'd prefer.
Oh hun the ups and downs come it is a terribly huge scar but I can assure you they will fade and we are going to be way happier with our flubber hacked off than the tiny scar that will remain! You look great the bruising looks so bad, everyday you will feel differently!!!
Oh girl it's ok! The first look is always a bit hard and shocking but that's part of it.
That scar will fade and you will love the results later. You look soooo good! You have an amazing transformation and I just know if a couple of weeks you will feel differently. Take it from someone who was a complete spaz the first week:)
